When an element is referred to as being “connected to” another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this invention are intended solely for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] See also Figures 1-4This embodiment provides an integrated flow and temperature monitoring sensor, comprising a main housing 201. The main housing 201 is provided with external threads, facilitating removable installation on a shower PPA, brass waterway, or other waterway made of other materials. A waterproof ring 204 is provided on the outer surface of the main housing 201. This ring prevents water from leaking through the gap between the main housing 201 and the shower PPA, brass waterway, or other waterway made of other materials.

[0031] In some embodiments, a water outlet is defined on the sidewall of the main housing 201, allowing water to flow out of the sensor 2 through the sidewall. A cylindrical bottom cover 207 is mounted on the main housing 201. A water inlet and a sealing ring 208 are located on the end of the bottom cover 207 facing away from the main housing 201, ensuring that water enters the sensor 2 from the bottom and exits from the side. A filter 209 and a sealing ring 208 are installed at the water inlet. The sealing ring 208 is positioned outside the filter 209 to prevent impurities from entering the sensor 2 and potentially affecting the proper functioning of the rotor 205. The sealing ring 208 fits snugly against the walls of a shower PPA, brass waterway, or other waterway material, ensuring that water flows from the water inlet to the sensor 2.

[0032] In other embodiments, a water inlet is formed on the sidewall of the main housing 201 and is fitted with a filter 209. The filter 209 is cylindrical in shape, allowing water to flow from the sidewall of the main housing 201 into the sensor 2. The filter 209 prevents impurities from entering the interior of the sensor 2 and affecting the normal operation of the rotor 205. A bottom cover 207 is mounted on the main housing 201. The end of the bottom cover 207 facing away from the main housing 201 is provided with a water outlet and a sealing ring 208. The sealing ring 208 is positioned outside the water outlet and tightly abuts against the wall of the shower PPA, brass waterway, or other waterway, ensuring that water does not enter the sensor 2 through the gap between the sensor 2 and the shower PPA, brass waterway, or other waterway through the water inlet.

[0033] The two ends of the rotor 205 are rotatably connected to the main housing 201 and the steel balls 206 on the bottom cover 207. The Hall sensor 202 and the temperature sensor 203 are mounted on the top wall of the main housing 201.

[0034] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 208 and the waterproof ring 204 are both O-type rubber rings.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] The bathing water system is used to provide the necessary water source for showering, flushing, etc. During bathing, people hope that the water temperature can be kept at a comfortable temperature, so they need to obtain the water temperature in real time. At present, the smart bathing water system installs sensors to monitor the water temperature in the pipeline, and displays the real-time water temperature on the display screen, making it convenient to obtain the water temperature in real time during bathing. In order to power the display screen, the existing smart bathing water system installs a small generator in the pipeline. The water flow drives the impeller of the small generator, so that the small generator powers the display screen so that the display screen can work normally; however, the current provided by the small generator is not stable enough, and the water pressure needs to reach a certain pressure before the small generator can provide sufficient current for the display screen to work normally; when the water pressure is insufficient, the display screen will not be able to display the water temperature normally.

[0037] See also Figures 5-7 This embodiment provides an intelligent display system, including the integrated flow and temperature monitoring sensor as described in Example 1, and further including:

[0038] The main housing 201 is mounted on the bathing water pipe 1. When water flows through the bathing water pipe 1, the water flow drives the rotor 205 to rotate, thereby turning on the Hall sensor 202.

[0039] A control board 5, wherein an input end of the control board 5 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 203 and the Hall sensor 202, so that the control board 5 receives a temperature signal from the temperature sensor 203 and a conduction signal from the Hall sensor 202;

[0040] A display screen 4, electrically connected to an output end of the control board 5, for displaying water temperature;

[0041] A battery box 3, which is used to supply power to the Hall sensor 202, the temperature sensor 203, the control board 5 and the display screen 4;

[0042] The control switch is used to control the on and off of the power supply from the battery box 3 to the display screen 4; when the control board receives the conduction signal, the control switch is closed; when the control board does not receive the conduction signal, the control switch is opened.

[0043] It should be noted that the water flow can enter from the side of the sensor 2 and exit from the bottom, such as Figure 7 As shown by the arrow in the middle; it can also enter from the bottom of the sensor 2 and exit from the side, as shown in the figure. Figure 5 As shown in the direction of the arrow; therefore, the present application provides a sensor 2 with two working modes: bottom-in and side-out and side-in and bottom-out, which can flexibly adapt to different water flow directions on site, and thus the installation of the bathing water pipe 1 does not need to consider the direction of the water flow on site.

[0044] In conclusion, the utility model discloses a sensor 2 is installed on bathing waterway pipeline 1, and the sensor 2 includes temperature sensor 203, hall sensor 202 and rotor 205, when the bathing waterway pipeline 1 has water flow, the water flow drives rotor 205 to rotate, makes hall sensor 202 conduction, and the control panel 5 receives the signal of conduction, makes the circuit intercommunication of battery box 3 to display screen 4 power supply, and the battery box 3 in since the battery can provide stable current, thereby the bathing waterway pipeline 1 has water flow, and display screen 4 can be electrified work, and the normal display water temperature, and when bathing waterway system stops using, the circuit of battery box 3 to display screen 4 power supply is disconnected, makes battery box 3 no longer give display screen 4 power supply, thereby in the case where bathing waterway system is not used, display screen 4 no longer consumes the electric quantity of battery box 3.
